(Click on it for the actual resolution in case Tumblr messed it up)

Omg a non TWST art it's probably going to flop so hard but lmao i guess I'll just accept that. Yeet I haven't drawn anything RWBY in a year... I'm hyped asf for Volume 8's continuation lol. I was planning on posting this on 2021 but I finished early so yeet lol

Hi! Idk if you're still active or even interested in rwby anymore. But just wanted to say I love your art!! I especially love the way you draw ruby. It doesn't really matter if it's wr or not, it's just your overall style is neat 💕

this is like. probably a rlly old question but yeah sjdjdjf i might (emphasis on that) make fanart of rwby when it comes out, but its not my fave anymore haha. new things to like and all.

im just inactive bc of college, and i cant find the time to draw for fun bc of that atm

anyways, thank you still!! and i hope ur doing well ^^

[aataraxys]

i wanted to say this for a long while but i am so fond of the way you just *gestures vaguely* draw ruby's hair. it's like i know she's drawn by you at one glance

oh uh wow i 😳 thank you?? i never understood how her new haircut worked, so i just winged it and kept drawing it differently until i found a version i liked

sketches in between commissions from a few weeks ago

long time follower here and i can't help but notice that you've stopped reblogging things at some point? is the hellsite getting too rough now XD

ive given up on being active here and started doing the 'post-then-disappear-for-a-while' thing. its done wonders for my mental health

[aataraxys]

You can ignore this if you like, but will you ever be drawing long-haired Ruby in the future?

no idea how old this is, but i cant guarantee that bc i find it... weird to draw ruby with hair longer than the short-ponytail!length lol. i suppose its bc i think short hair looks the most fitting for her

[aataraxys]

HEWO THERE

aaaah hi!!

[aataraxys]

Are you alright with people reposting your art? I've been coming across a lot of your stuff on amino/reddit and was wondering if they had permission to post...

on the condition that they're linked to my other platforms and credited properly. i stress that permission is also a plus, but i don't think that would stop a lot of reposters on other sites, per se instagram?

so i'm resigned to at least be tolerant of them as long as im tagged or credited over there. as for reddit/amino, i dont really use those and don't plan to but as long as they meet the conditions then it's alright.

[aataraxys]

aaaaaa i wasn't supposed to send this. but. i really wanted you to know i've been staring at your recent post for over an hour!!!! the mood and the ambience and everything. do they have any certain stories behind them?

aw thats awesome im glad!! i had no idea how they were going to end up when i first started working on them and im just thankful they came out coherent enough haha

the first one was just a random thought of 'weiss as a mirror but literally'. the second one i actually referenced from orpheus and eurydice's greek myth, but i got lazy and didnt add a lyre so its just. whatever it is

the third one is just them napping together(???). sort of obvious enough, and ive been meaning to draw ruby and weiss in atlas pajamas for a while

[aataraxys]

wrw prompts day 1, 4 and 8

[aataraxys]

Is their ship of Blake, Ruby, and Weiss really called newspaper, I thought it was checkmate 🤣🤣

oh haha yeah it's newspaper!! black, white and read all over i think. checkmate is just another name aside from monos for weiss/blake

[aataraxys]

Sorry, could I ask if you have any tips on drawing hair? It’s really a struggle for me 😅

oww this looks like a really old ask and im sorry i didnt see it so soon!! i would love to illustrate some tips but i dont have energy for that at the moment, but improving on hair, and by extension anything, really boils down to trial&error and to keep on practicing until you feel comfortable! it's also nice to look at inspirations and how they draw hair, and to emulate it in your own way

[aataraxys]

Hi, ily, and your art and your drawing crossover ship of Blake, Weiss, and Ruby, I thank you for your time

you're welcome ^^ i was living on the castlevania s3 hype around that time. it had to be done

[aataraxys]

Hello! Currently drinking the insomnia juice but I have spent the past...hour? two hours? just looking at your art and I am a big fan! (Also having so many big gay panics ahfaiuowbgaufhibj, I am firmly questioning in the community due to being vastly confused and unsure and a million other reasons but that doesn't allow me to escape the gay panic and I'm not sure if that's a bad thing.)

gosh im so sorry this took so long to answer because i dont check my inbox a lot, but this makes me so glad!! thank you so much, and hopefully things have become clear (clearer?) or less confusing to you by this point :D

[aataraxys]

bruh I just saw the post of team RWBY + Bumbleby kid and jeez, poor Weiss

suffering is her brand

[aataraxys]
